• Sign Online – A few insurance companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing on their website.

Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Sentra caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a bird, rock chips in glass, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, nursing services, funeral costs and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
